I LOVE IT...I JUST WISH IT WOULDN'T SKIP

I REALLY LIKE MY KIA SORENTO, I JUST WISH THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT BEFORE I GET TO 100,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT.

Recall Notices

2013 Kia Sorento (10/6/2015)

Campaign Number: 15V626000

Component Name: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Manufacturer: Kia Motors America

Description: Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Kia Sorento vehicles manufactured October 19, 2009, to January 31, 2013. In the affected vehicles, if excessive force is applied to the gear shift lever, the brake-shift interlock mechanism may chip or crack allowing the transmission being able to be shifted out of "Park" without the brakes being depressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection."

Defect: Without requiring the brake to be pressed, the vehicle may be unintentionally shifted out of Park, allowing it to roll, which may result in a crash.

Corrective Action: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake-shift interlock mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on November 9, 2015. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC124.
